All of JFCY’s services are available by phone and other technology during this time when our physical office is closed. If you are an existing client or you are looking for services for the first time, please call us at 416-920-1633 or toll free at 1-866-999-5329 (JFCY). Please be patient as our service standards may be impacted in our remote work environment.
Children and people experiencing homelessness are very vulnerable while programs/services are closed and while physical isolation is required. Please reach out to children and young people that you know – by telephone, social media, even email – to try and prevent the most negative impacts of isolation.
